    LTs vs. Mid-Length

    engine dying under braking

    i need to get a digital camera for this stuff. it's way easier to show a pic of something than to type about it. Jinx, they are both plastic/foam tubes i think. i can't believe they are secured in such a half-a$$ fashion.

    new intake questions

    i thought the recall only covered cars up to 7 years/70,000 miles? i've got 95,000. what a buch of crap... **checked the chamberlan info, i guess i would be covered (no mileage limit). this is the first good news i've heard in weeks.

    new intake questions

    i tried to search for some of this but i'd like to ask just to make sure... ok well i had been running rough. i took my car in and the gasket on the intake manifold had leaked coolant onto my number 6 spark plug and killed it. so they replaced the plug and gasket for me. then, 5 days and...

    shaky at low RPM, please help!

    it all looks like it's there, but i do remember the guy i bought it from mumbled something about having the idle lowered. maybe that has something to do with it... off to work for now.
